[R] if clause in data frame

[arun]

Yes, that is better.

I just copied the same function that the OP used.

That looks likely to be extremely slow. 'rbind.data.frame' is notoriously slow when applied iteratively in loops.

Couldn't this just be:

dat <- expand.grid(m1 = 4:10, n1 = 4:10, x1 = 0: m1, y1 = 0: n1) 
final= within(dat, flag=as.numeric( x1/m1>y1/n1) )
